The Catholic rosary
REASON ONE: It was originated from the pagans.
Historical note: Roman Catholics borrowed the idea of praying with beads from the pagan religions who were already using them hundreds of years before: In 456 AD, Hindus are thought to have introduced the concept of praying with beads to the world. The earliest reference to a rosary (boberkhas) is in their "Jain Canon" (456 AD) These boberkhas had various numbers of beads 6,9,12,18,36 (any sub-multiple of 108) Islam (610 AD) uses a rosary of 99 beads, one for each of the names of God. Buddhists have 108 prayer beads on the string. The Rosary is of pagan origin and no Christian prior to 1000 AD used beads to pray.
The Bible teaches Christians not to do the pagans' way of life:
REASON TWO: Long prayers will let you receive greater damnation
because God wanted us when communicating with him is read this verse:
Ecclesiastes 5:2 Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.
REASON THREE: It was the Catholic saint Saint Dominic who introduced it
"He was the one who introduced the beautiful prayer of the Holy Rosary in honor of the Virgin Mary"
